Synopses & Reviews
Since the publication of Roy Bhaskar's A Realist Theory of Science in 1975, critical realism has emerged as one of the most powerful new directions in the philosophy of science and social science, offering a real alternative to both positivism and postmodernism. This reader makes accessible in one volume key readings to stimulate debate about and within critical realism.
The volume includes extracts from Bhaskar's most important books, as well as selections from all of the other most important contributors to the critical realist program.
